A method of cutting a gutter, the method comprising:

• locating a cutting assembly adjacent to a discharge of a seamless gutter machine to a dispose a cutting axis defined by the cutting assembly relative to a formed gutter discharged from the seamless gutter machine;
• wherein the cutting assembly comprises:
• a frame having a slider assembly, index pins and index holes, wherein the slider assembly extends diagonally;
• and
• a cutting unit supportably engaged by the frame that is attachably engageable with the discharge of the seamless gutter machine, the cutting unit having a plurality of cutting rollers rotatably mounted to the cutting unit and offset to have overlapping peripheral edges defining the cutting axis, the formed gutter being moved through the cutting rollers to be cut along the cutting axis;
• wherein the cutting unit is slidably positionable relative to the frame at the discharge of the seamless gutter machine among a first position, a second position and a third position;
• wherein the slider assembly, the index pins and the index holes enable the cutting assembly to be slidably positioned and secured at the first position, the second position and the third position;
• discharging a length of the formed gutter from the seamless gutter machine along a longitudinal axis extending from the discharge, the formed gutter comprising a front wall having a front upper edge, a back wall having a back upper edge, and a bottom wall extending between the front and back walls opposite the front and back upper edges;
• passing the formed gutter relative to the cutting assembly such that cutting axis intersects the back wall;
• and
• cutting the back wall of the formed gutter along the cutting axis at a first distance from the bottom wall less than a second distance the front wall extending from the bottom wall.
